When it comes to family outings, there may be no better vehicle choice than the Chevrolet Tahoe. This is especially true if your adventures involve visiting the great outdoors. Let's say you want to take your family and some friends to a cabin by the lake. There are nine of you, plus your luggage -- oh, and there's that boat you want to tow to the lake as well. The Tahoe can handle all of it, and does it quite well, which is why it also won KBB's Best Buy award in the Full-size SUV category.

Roomy, Comfortable, Modern

Not only does the Tahoe have the capability that can handle up to 8,600 pounds of RV, trailer or boat, but it can also carry nearly 95 cubic feet of cargo behind the front seats. That capability is impressive, but what really makes this a strong family vehicle is that the interior, which was completely redesigned for 2015 (along with the rest of the SUV), is even more people-friendly. The Tahoe offers a comfortable ride and a wonderfully quiet interior, making it very easy to have a conversation without raising your voice. The interior also has new amenities that make it easy to pass the time on a road trip, things like MyLink infotainment, a Wi-Fi hotspot, available dual-screen rear-seat entertainment with a Blu-ray player and the ability to wirelessly charge your smartphone. And the cabin is easy to reconfigure for your needs, thanks to available power-folding 2nd- and 3rd-row seats.

On a day-to-day basis, the Tahoe is built for chores as well as the daily grind. Families have kids of varying ages, with needs that involve everything from baseball practice to ballet class. Each child's activity may include hauling around oddly shaped or unwieldy gear. The Tahoe is one of those vehicles can tackle everything a family demands.
